    BlaqBonez called to tell me he was friends with benefits with my girlfriend, Odumodublvck reveals

    Odumodublvck has continued his public dispute with fellow Nigerian rapper BlaqBonez, accusing him of contacting him to disclose a previous friends-with-benefits relationship with his girlfriend and making further allegations about his conduct.

    In a series of posts on X, Odumodublvck claimed BlaqBonez called him with the intention of telling him that he had previously been involved with his girlfriend.

    “THIS NIGGA @BlaqBonez BUZZED ME WITH THE INTENTION OF TELLING ME THAT HE WAS FRIENDS WITH BENEFIT WITH MY GIRLFRIEND A LONG TIME AGO, THINKING I AM UNAWARE,” he wrote.

    Odumodublvck questioned why BlaqBonez would reveal the information himself rather than allow the woman to decide whether and when to tell him.

    “WHO ARE YOU TO TAKE AWAY HER LIBERTY TO TELL ME IF YOU NO WAN SPOIL HER LIFE,” he wrote, before accusing BlaqBonez of threatening, bullying and harassing her.

    He also claimed BlaqBonez later contacted him to ask why he had not attended a Jeriq show.

    In another post, Odumodublvck alleged that BlaqBonez called again under the guise of checking on his welfare.

    “THE IDIOT BUZZ ME SAY E WAN CHECK ON MY WELFARE 😂😂😂,” he wrote.

    According to Odumodublvck, BlaqBonez then asked: “WHY YOU DEY VEX FOR ME LIKE THIS? NA BECAUSE OF YOUR BABE? SHE NO TELL YOU WETIN WE BE BEFORE?”

    Odumodublvck subsequently challenged BlaqBonez over allegations involving a woman, questioning why he had not taken legal action if he believed he had been falsely accused.

    “IF YOU SAY WOMAN FALSELY ACCUSE YOU, YOU SUPPOSE DON SUE THE WOMAN BY NOW,” he wrote. “WHY YOU NEVER SUE AM?”

    He then made further allegations about BlaqBonez’s interactions with the police, claiming that the rapper had spent time in a cell, later apologized in writing in the presence of his lawyers, and requested to apologize verbally to the person he was publicly criticizing after being asked to leave a police station.

    “RAP BEEF BUT YOU SLEEP FOR CELL,” Odumodublvck wrote. “RAP BEEF BUT YOU DON APOLOGIZE VIA A HANDWRITTEN APOLOGY IN FRONT OF YOUR LAWYERS.”

    He also accused BlaqBonez of sexual abuse, repeatedly describing him as a “sexual abuser.” The allegations have not been independently established in the posts.

    Odumodublvck framed his response as a defence of his girlfriend, saying he would stand by her regardless of public opinion.

    “BASED ON SAY DEM KNOW SAY SOCIETY GO SAY ‘NA BECAUSE OF WOMAN,’” he wrote. “UNFORTUNATELY ME I NO BE SOCIETY.”

    “I LOVE MY WOMAN AND I GO DIE FOR AM IF NEED BE,” he added.

    Odumodublvck also said that if he had not publicly addressed the matter, it could have remained within the context of their rap dispute.

    “IF I DID NOT ACT LIKE THE SO CALLED MAD MAN YOU GUYS SAY I AM, THIS MATTER WILL HAVE GONE UNDER THE RADAR OF RAP BEEF,” he wrote.

    He ended one of his posts by suggesting that the artists involved could eventually reunite.

    “ONE DAY WE GO ALL ASSEMBLE AGAIN,” he wrote. “TILL THAT DAY. PEACE AND LOVE. 🙏🏿❤️”

    The latest allegations follow BlaqBonez’s earlier account that he had been in a friends-with-benefits relationship with the same woman Odumodublvck was dating, without initially knowing that she was in a relationship with the rapper.

  • Davido threatens to quit the music industry over Erigga’s comments about musicians who come from family money

    Davido threatens to quit the music industry over Erigga’s comments about musicians who come from family money

    Davido has suggested that he could walk away from music following his ongoing exchange with Nigerian rapper Erigga over comments about musicians who come from family money.

    The dispute began after Erigga wrote on X: “Shoutout to all the musicians who don’t come from family money and had to grind for every single dollar they earn.”

    Davido responded by defending artists who come from wealthy families but still worked to build their careers, calling Erigga’s post “useless motivation” and referring to him as an “imbecile.”

    Erigga subsequently criticized Davido’s response, questioning why musicians without family wealth could not celebrate their achievements.

    Davido has now returned to the exchange, writing: “No worry o I go soon leave their music for una GO MAKE MY BILLIONS … then that shit gonna be boring AF.”

    He followed the post with: “Deep down who like poverty?”

    Davido also responded to a user who claimed that without his father’s wealth, he would have been “just another Mr MayD.”

    “Says the face of a chimpanzee,” Davido replied.

    Davido’s comments come shortly after Nigerian artist Siraheem, who also comes from a wealthy family, announced his decision to step away from music to focus on his other projects.

    The latest exchange between Davido and Erigga has brought renewed attention to the relationship between family wealth, music careers and the idea of being self-made in the Nigerian entertainment industry.

    Erigga has responded to Davido’s criticism of his comments about musicians who built their careers without family money, calling out the singer over his use of the word “imbecile” before escalating their online exchange.

    The back-and-forth began after Erigga wrote on X: “Shoutout to all the musicians who don’t come from family money and had to grind for every single dollar they earn.”

    Davido responded: “No be we say make your pops no guard o. Shoutout to the ones that came from family money and still grind to the top. Comot here with that your useless motivation … imbecile.”

    Erigga subsequently addressed the use of “imbecile,” bringing people with intellectual and developmental disabilities into the conversation.

    “Big love to everyone on the spectrum, Down syndrome, autism, etc… it can never be cool to insult people with a disease,” he wrote.

    He then returned to the subject of family wealth, questioning why his original shoutout appeared to provoke Davido.

    “NA SHOUTOUT TO THE ONES WHEN GET IT OUT THE MUD WITHOUT FAMILY MONEY DEY MAKE DAVID CRASH OUT?” Erigga wrote. “From where to where??”

    “Big man pikin dey cry say poor men children de hail dem self???” he added. “Motivate your self naw.”

    Erigga went on to label Davido the “Ambassador of RICH KIDS,” asking: “Because ur papa get money make we no happy again for our small wins???”

    The rapper also made the dispute more personal, writing: “I’m disappointed IN YOU SLOVIDO.”

    “NA ME U WAN BULLY? NA ME U WAN OPPRESS?” he added.

    The exchange has since developed into a wider argument over family wealth, privilege and the meaning of being self-made in the Nigerian music industry.

    Davido has fired back at fellow Nigerian rapper Erigga after Erigga praised musicians who built their careers without coming from family money.

    Erigga wrote on X: “Shoutout to all the musicians who don’t come from family money and had to grind for every single dollar they earn.”

    Davido responded to the post by pointing to artists who come from wealthy families but still worked to build successful careers.

    “No be we say make your pops no guard o,” Davido wrote. “Shoutout to the ones that came from family money and still grind to the top. Comot here with that your useless motivation … imb3cile.”

    Davido is the son of Nigerian businessman Adedeji Adeleke. His response appeared to challenge the idea that artists from wealthy families should be excluded from conversations about hard work and perseverance.

    Erigga’s original post did not explicitly name any musician.

    Shenseea & Yung Miami call out “Nigerian scammers” on “Spend Dat” international remix

    Shenseea and Yung Miami are drawing attention on X over a reference to “Nigerian scammers” on the international remix of Yung Miami’s “Spend Dat.”

    Released on August 27, the remix features Shenseea, Nigerian Afrobeats star Davido and Jamaican dancehall artist Vybz Kartel. Shenseea opens the track with a verse referencing scammers from the Caribbean and Africa, including Nigerians, before Davido and Vybz Kartel add their own verses.

    The line has since become a talking point online, with reactions focusing on the use of the “Nigerian scammer” stereotype in a song that also features Davido.

    The discussion has also extended beyond X. During a recent episode of The Breakfast Club, host Charlamagne Tha God reacted to the line while listening to the remix, joking about the stereotype.

    “Spend Dat” originally reached No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 100, according to Complex, while the international remix was released alongside a separate U.S. remix featuring Lil Baby and Kodak Black.

    ODUMODUBLVCK’s lawyers say rapper is not wanted by police, seek inquiry into attempted arrest

    ODUMODUBLVCK’s legal representatives have said the rapper is not wanted by the Nigeria Police Force and has no outstanding arrest warrant, following an attempted arrest in Lagos on August 29.

    In a statement dated August 31, the lawyers representing Tochukwu Gbubemi Ojogwu, known professionally as Odumodublvck, said the rapper has not evaded or resisted any lawful process and has responded to legitimate police invitations through his legal team.

    According to the statement, the matter that allegedly led to the attempted arrest is already being handled by the Inspector General of Police’s Monitoring Unit and is also before an Abuja Magistrate Court.

    The legal team argued that because the matter is pending before the court, it should not have resulted in a separate invitation or attempted arrest by another police command.

    They said a formal response addressing what they described as a duplication of investigative activity across multiple police commands has been sent to the Assistant Commissioner of Police, State Criminal Investigation Department, Lagos State Police Command, with a copy sent to the Assistant Inspector General of Police, Zone 2.

    The lawyers have also requested an urgent inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the events of August 29.

    The statement further said Odumodublvck continues to cooperate with the appropriate authorities through his legal representatives and remains committed to due process.

    The legal team urged the public and media to disregard speculation about the matter and rely on verified statements from his representatives.

    The statement was signed by Adokiye, legal representative to Tochukwu Gbubemi Ojogwu.
